New 525hp Ariel Atom 4RR vs Top Gear Track! | 4K

The Ariel Atom has always been extreme, the 4R variant added extra aero and 25% more power, and now the 4RR arrives for the truly unhinged among us. With another 125bhp (for a 525bhp total) it’s the most powerful Ariel Atom ever, and the power-to-weight ratio is nigh-on 800bhp per tonne! It’s the maddest, most extreme car we’ve ever tested at the Top Gear Track… or is it? Might the Nichols N1A, a recreation of a V8 McLaren Can-Am racer, be even more bonkers? 🚗 Ariel Atom 4RR & Nichols N1A 🎤 Jack Rix and Jethro Bovingdon 🎥 Subscribe to Top Gear YouTube: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear ⏪ Subscribe to Top Gear Classic YouTube: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear 📖 Subscribe to Top Gear Magazine: https://top-gear.visitlink.me/YeyndO 🎧 Top Gear Magazine Podcast: https://topgear.podlink.to/Podcast ✉️ Top Gear Newsletter: https://www.topgear.com/newsletter-signup 🛍️ Top Gear Shop: https://www.topgear.com/shop Follow Top Gear ⬇️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/topgear/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/topgear TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@topgear X/Twitter: https://x.com/BBC_TopGear This is a commercial channel from BBC Studios.
